About Sydney


Bio

While I don't have any formal teaching experience besides tutoring some friends' siblings, through high school I was the person people would go to for help, especially with writing and literature. Since then I have completed a bachelors in screenwriting for film and television and will graduate in fall 2026 with a masters in finance and economics. In terms of real world experience, I occupied an internship position as a financial analysis with Bar Louie Corporate for about half a year.

While I don't have any formal teaching experience besides tutoring some friends' siblings, through high school I was the person people would go to for help, especially with writing and literature. Since then I have completed a bachelors in screenwriting for film and television and will graduate in fall 2026 with a masters in finance and economics. In terms of real world experience, I occupied an internship position as a financial analysis with Bar Louie Corporate for about half a year.
I am prone to months-long obsessions over various topics ranging from psychology to history to philosophy. While I wouldn't pretend to be an able tutor in every subject I take an interest in, I do know how to study. Entering college, I already had two years thanks to AP credits, half of which I self-studied for. It wasn't just for the credits that I signed up for the tests, I have a genuine passion for learning and believe knowledge can expand one's worldview, but also one's ability to find the beauty in how things work. I live for the moments when my explanation lands and someone's mind is opened to new knowledge. This makes it easier to retain information since the knowledge isn't in disparate facts, but part of a system that informs itself and the world.

Creative Writing

I am currently 35,000 words into the third draft of a novel which is based on a screenplay I wrote years back. While I personally enjoy my prose, style is much more difficult to teach than story which is what I would primarily focus on. In the last eight years I have completed multiple drafts of over a dozen screenplays for features and pilots for television along with numerous short stories. My philosophy is once you find the story in a way that is emotionally compelling and meaningful, finishing a project gets much easier, and once you finish a project, it becomes a matter of practicing your craft.
